We are all Foreigners on Earth - so how can we love our immigrant neighbor?
Manage episode 321395027 series 2987699
Have you ever felt alone and out of place? As followers of Jesus Christ, we are all foreigners on earth.
Today we continue to talk about love but in a different context. In the first half of the show we look at the immigrant journey and how we can love our immigrant neighbor, then we transition to the realization that we are all immigrants, or foreigners, on earth.
You’ll want to listen to the end because that’s where the good stuff is.
Guest Bio:
Born and raised within the minority Christian community in India, Mabel Ninan moved to America in 2008. As she struggled to fit in and longed for rootedness and belonging, God opened her eyes to the fact that she was a spiritual immigrant too, a foreigner on earth who does not belong in this world. Her mission is to encourage believers to embrace their immigrant journey on earth and live out their calling with boldness and passion.
Mabel's writings explore the intersection between faith, culture, and identity. Her articles have been published in CBN.com, The Upper Room, (in)courage.me, and Leading Hearts magazine. Her essay, "#LockdownLessons: How the Pandemic Reshaped My Understanding of Church", published in LeadingHearts.com as well as Courageous Magazine (India), won the Selah Award (Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference) in the essay category in 2021.
Mabel's first book, "Far from Home: Discovering Your Identity as Foreigners on Earth" will be released in July 2022 by Iron Stream Media. She is a contributor to Guideposts’, "All God’s Creatures 2022: Daily Devotions for Animal Lovers".
Host of the YouTube channel, "Immigrant Faith Stories," Mabel is currently pursuing M.A. in Theological Studies from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. A lover of books, Zumba, and tea, Mabel lives in Northern California with her husband, her ten-year-old son, and a Maltese.
